Sisterhood of the travelling 45

Welcome to the Jester's Kingdom. I hope you enjoy your stay. I'd offer you my second born to follow my blog via one of the handy links to the right, but you'd give him back. And I'm rather fond of him.

For this week’s Trifecta challenge (this week’s word is confidence), I’m back in the nursing home with DoDo and Wilma. Take a second to read their previous (short) escapade. They have now returned from their shopping spree unscathed, as they have every week so far. It helps that Wilma’s great grandson helped them hack the garden gate code, but sooner or later, they’re going to get caught.

I also like the fact that the people in the nursing home are so sharp! Everyone thinks they are these drooling vegetables, but they are actually running the place like on Hogan’s Heroes!Hop over and visit Libby’s recent post Trifecta Writing Challenge – Confidence

I was wondering whatbthe black shard would be. These ladies are funny. A friend’s dad used to crack the code and wander out. It was funny until the calls about him getting out came in the middle of the night. Still clever despite their ages.Hop over and visit Gina’s recent post What’s Wrong With Dumpster Diving?

It was just exactly what Aunt Charlo used to do, only she wanted you to hide it in your purse. And the best part about her was that she would find her own adventures completely hilarious when her meds were adjusted. She only hazily remembered what she’d done, and she’d tell on herself as readily as anybody else who’d been through whatever it was.

Scott got me thinking and made me remember Aunt Charlo and her records. The other two started in a dream and now have simply moved in and taken up residence, ordering around the other characters like they were dealing with stubborn children.

As soon as I saw 45, I knew I had to read this one. Remember those yellow plastic adaptors we had to fit into the center of those small records? I actually have a silver version on a necklace. I get comments on it all the time. Nice story, JQ. Thanks for bringing me back.Hop over and visit OldDogNewTits’s recent post Over Drinks (for Trifecta)

What an AWESOME necklace. I was totally fascinated by those converters when I was a kid. In spite of growing up in the cassette years, we had three turntables in our house at one point, and my Mom had a six milk-crate-high collection of records.

Always. DoDo has debilitating hip and pelvis problems, but those haven’t daunted her spirit or her will to get out of bed and sit in the wheelchair as often as possible. Wilma has a few physical issues, but mostly she’s here on a voluntary basis, bored to death with young people and ready to raise hell among ‘her own kind’.

I’ve had a few error messages trying to comment here, but I think the problem is at my end, not yours. I love these guys! You have created some really believable characters here and you write brilliantly as usual. Thanks for linking up.Hop over and visit Trifecta’s recent post Trifextra: Week Fourteen

No, it’s not you. This new and ‘improved’ wordpress commenting system is worse than anything blogger can cook up. I hate it. It screws me over about half the time. I’ve had to make a fake e-mail address, which I think had to actually go out and create so people could respond to me at it, so that I can comment on wordpress blogs and leave a link back to my blog. Makes me wanna pull out my hair.
